I recently picked up MS Combat Flight Sim, the original Europe version to replace my lost disc. On the cover of the game it says it will only work with 95 or 98. My new computer has XP. What gives? I have not opened the package yet. Will it work or not? HELP!!!! [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: question for computer gamers
It should yes. Compatability is retroactive from the Windows point of view.
If you have problems simply try changing the compatibility options (right click > properties >...).
In short: it should work.You took too much, man. Too much. Too much. -

On the back of the box it has 3.1, 95, 98, ME, XP and 2000 listed, but all have red X's next to them except 95 and 98 which have green check marks. Led me to believe it is only intended for those systems. Sucks, because it is my favorite of the combat flight sims.Scott

Re: question for computer gamers
Never encountered anything like that before. I remember trying to Play Pharaoh, Caesar III and old economic sims like that on XP, they didn't work, but they did after I did the compatibility thing or another time after I reinstalled one of the systems files because it said it was to blame.
Wait for Matt or Tim to solve this. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]You took too much, man. Too much. Too much.Comment

Re: question for computer gamers
UPDATE: The MS Flight Sim works fine, but the 2 add on bonus discs do not. That's cool, since the game is all I wanted anyway.Scott

Re: question for computer gamers
There is a product out there called DOXbox that might help if you want to run old games under XP. I've been using it with TIE Fighter and some other oldies, and it works great. Free download from several sites.Comment
